This Chinese Elm arrived last week and has been acclimating to its new home. It dropped over 100 leaves but has since stabilized. This morning, I noticed new buds. I’m currently planning on a repot and wanted to go ahead and add a permanent rock.…

Worst case scenario this becomes a plant for the pollinator garden but I wanted to give it a go. It was $5 after the sale. It's going into the ground asap for now, going to let it grow for a year or so before trying anything fun with it I think. Thoughts?…

It was an air layer from a much older plant. submitted by /u/Affectionate-Mud9321 [link] [comments]

I received a new shipment full of Lilliput Portulacaria Afra. Here I compare the Lilliput and regular Portulacaria Afra. It's really awesome to see the size difference. P.S.: I sell them. submitted by /u/Affectionate-Mud9321 [link] [comments]

I stopped by Bonsai Master in Apopka fl. to help Mr.Kim pull out a hand full of good material to take photos and help him start a labeling process with dog tags I made him.…

Hello there, this video contains the start of the journey of one of my Ulmus Parvifolia "Seiju" trees, from cutting to future Shohin tree. In this video you can see the progress of the tree from January 2026 (when I took the cutting) to Late October 2026.…

Thinking this juniper has too much foliage for the size of the trunk—it’s looking bushy. Considering taking off most of the top foliage, leaving the lower foliage so the apex is much lower and closer to the front of the pot.…

Lost a lot of leafs today after a stormy night. Unfortunately because it would get even more red but it lost a lot of leafes in the front view. So this is the backside. Just to catch its beatiful fall colours quick.…

I don’t quite like the top half of this tree. My plan A is to chop it back to below the first branch, there is a small bud that I can build a new tree from. However, figured that I should try and see if I can make something I like from it.…

As you can see, the roots have becme thick and woody. It is no longer possible to fix these roots. But foliage color of the leaf is exceptional. I will use its branch for grafting. submitted by /u/hira_81jp [link] [comments]

I last posted this medium sized JBP about 10 months ago at the time of the winter needle thinning. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/s/6fRiK9pQOE It has grown very strongly over the year since, I will have to thin it even more aggressively this winter.…

Winter is near and everything unhardy is moving inside. First time setting up growing lights. Ppfc measures 150 at pot-hight. The heating stays off because of the plants.

Visited the Longwood Garden with some friends this weekend, and to my surprise they had a wonderful little courtyard with an attached workshop demonstrating some tanuki techniques with pre bloom chrysanthemums, later on we stumbled across some that were…

While I was away a drunk person fell on my almost 20 years old crataegus. The roots were damaged and the leader was snapped. I'm sorry this is a wordy post but my emotions are getting the better of me.…

Found this on a Lowe's discount rack today. Love the shape of the trunk! submitted by /u/Bolarb [link] [comments]

I grew this maple from a seed I had bought online at the beginning of my journey. About a year or two ago I decided I wanted to remove it from the small pot I was keeping it in to grow radial roots in and transplant it into a forest pot with some seiryu…
